Our Workforce Education and Training Program initiatives include:

  • How to do Business with SoCalREN: The E-Contractor Academy Training Workshop Series. These workshops share energy efficiency program opportunities with local contractors.
  • E-Contractor Academy. This program prepares small and minority contractors for the process of competing for and performing energy efficiency projects.
  • One-on-One Technical Assistance. Support is available for contractors who would like technical assistance with energy efficiency projects, including retrofits through the SoCalREN Multifamily Program.
